Exploring The Secrets Of Light And Consciousness with Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D.

Liberman makes the provocative statement that “Anything that catches your eye is actually looking for you.” This leads him to speak about living in a choiceless way and following what attracts your eye. He says, “You see what grabs your attention is being animated by the same thing that animates the timing of the rising and setting of the sun, the beating of our hearts . . . I’ve come to have such respect for the timing of things that the moment it comes I automatically respond to it . . .Life provides a way for us to continually experience meeting things, responding to things, completing things and in the process we gain an authentic security in our ability to meet everything.” He goes on to talk about a surprising view of what light is and is not. Backed up by the experiments of scientist Arthur Zajonc, Liberman describes for us that the nature of light is actually invisible. He says, “We think light is a thing. Light is actually just an infinite potentiality. Light is actually formless. It is totally invisible. You cannot see it. Our experience of light is something that appears bright which is a perceptual phenomenon. That is not light; It’s just brightness.”
